Rosolie’s nonprofit, Junglekeepers, claims to have protected more than 77,000 acres of Amazonian wilderness — essential not just for biodiversity.
But also for the development of plant-based medications and diagnostic testing materials used in modern prenatal care.
With a 10-person team, Rosolie set out in the Peruvian Amazon to locate a snake capable of carrying out the feat — and potentially putting him in need of intensive care or even lifesaving surgery.
They found a 20-foot, 18-stone green anaconda, and Rosolie donned a custom-built carbon fiber suit. The suit, designed with 3D technology.
Was not just for show: it was engineered to withstand both bone-crushing force and highly acidic digestive enzymes.
Which in a real-world context could result in medical malpractice lawsuits if any protection failed under such experimental conditions.
The suit also included internal cameras, a radio mic, and biometric monitoring tools — the type of data collection you might see in sports injury diagnostics or space medicine research.
